Designing the classroom When the space knowledge stage was completed, it was time to decide how many learning centers pupils wanted inside the classroom. They had to be conscious of how many resources they needed and where they had to get them. To distribute all the corners and keep everything located, students represented their classroom’s distribution by using a free drawing or a map. To sum up this phase, an architect or a design professional came to the school to advise the students of all the possibilities that the classroom offers, such as advising their initiatives. Building the classroom Students created their own classroom by organising and building their ideas according to the class assembly agreement. Work done! When the classroom was well organised and ready to work, it was time to show the project to others (teachers, families, other school students‌). Despite the fact that all learning centers can be settled down throughout the school year, inside the P5 schedule there is a specific hour dedicated to class assembly, where students can value the function of the different spaces and propose if changes are required regarding the material, norms or furniture placement. This supported this kind of initiative.
